Liverpool want to sign Jacob Murphy from Norwich and then loan him back in a bid to beat Tottenham to his signature.

The winger has impressed at Carrow Road this season and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has had him watched.

But Liverpool are ready to steal a march on their Premier League rivals by moving for him this month. And they will try to sweeten the deal for the Canaries by letting him stay put for the rest of the campaign.
